The production version of the Lamborghini Urus is based on the Volkswagen Group's MLB modular platform which also underpins the Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne and the Audi Q7.

The Urus SUV draws power from a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine churning out 641bhp. The SUV will be equipped with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Lamborghini is also working on a hybrid variant of the SUV, but it will not make it to production before 2020.

The teaser video also reveals the body shell of the black Urus and the unfinished cabin of the SUV. The video also shows the three fully built models sitting in the parking lot underneath the covers.

Lamborghini has high hopes on the Urus SUV as the manufacturer aims to double the annual sales by 2019. With the high volume of sales, the production will be doubled at the Bolognese manufacturing plant which will create around 700 new job opportunities.
